FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE

Aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wirelesscommunication and to techniques and apparatuses for clutter interferencemanagement.

BACKGROUND

Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide varioustelecommunication services such as telephony, video, data, messaging,and broadcasts. Typical wireless communication systems may employmultiple-access technologies capable of supporting communication withmultiple users by sharing available system resources (e.g., bandwidth,transmit power, and/or the like). Examples of such multiple-accesstechnologies include code division multiple access (CDMA) systems, timedivision multiple access (TDMA) systems, frequency-division multipleaccess (FDMA) systems, orthogonal frequency-division multiple access(OFDMA) systems, single-carrier frequency-division multiple access(SC-FDMA) systems, time division synchronous code division multipleaccess (TD-SCDMA) systems, and Long Term Evolution (LTE).LTE/LTE-Advanced is a set of enhancements to the Universal MobileTelecommunications System (UMTS) mobile standard promulgated by theThird Generation Partnership Project (3GPP).

A wireless communication network may include a number of base stations(BSs) that can support communication for a number of user equipment(UEs). A user equipment (UE) may communicate with a base station (BS)via the downlink and uplink. The downlink (or forward link) refers tothe communication link from the BS to the UE, and the uplink (or reverselink) refers to the communication link from the UE to the BS. As will bedescribed in more detail herein, a BS may be referred to as a Node B, agNB, an access point (AP), a radio head, a transmit receive point (TRP),a New Radio (NR) BS, a 5G Node B, and/or the like.

The above multiple access technologies have been adopted in varioustelecommunication standards to provide a common protocol that enablesdifferent user equipment to communicate on a municipal, national,regional, and even global level. New Radio (NR), which may also bereferred to as 5G, is a set of enhancements to the LTE mobile standardpromulgated by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP). NR isdesigned to better support mobile broadband Internet access by improvingspectral efficiency, lowering costs, improving services, making use ofnew spectrum, and better integrating with other open standards usingorthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) with a cyclic prefix(CP) (CP-OFDM) on the downlink (DL), using CP-OFDM and/or SC-FDM (e.g.,also known as discrete Fourier transform spread OFDM (DFT-s-OFDM)) onthe uplink (UL), as well as supporting beamforming, multiple-inputmultiple-output (MIMO) antenna technology, and carrier aggregation.However, as the demand for mobile broadband access continues toincrease, there exists a need for further improvements in LTE and NRtechnologies. Preferably, these improvements should be applicable toother multiple access technologies and the telecommunication standardsthat employ these technologies.

Several aspects of telecommunication systems will now be presented withreference to various apparatuses and techniques. These apparatuses andtechniques will be described in the following detailed description andillustrated in the accompanying drawings by various blocks, modules,components, circuits, steps, processes, algorithms, and/or the like(collectively referred to as “elements”). These elements may beimplemented using hardware, software, or combinations thereof. Whethersuch elements are implemented as hardware or software depends upon theparticular application and design constraints imposed on the overallsystem.

It should be noted that while aspects may be described herein usingterminology commonly associated with 3G and/or 4G wireless technologies,aspects of the present disclosure can be applied in othergeneration-based communication systems, such as 5G and later, includingNR technologies.

FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a wireless network 100 in which aspectsof the present disclosure may be practiced. The wireless network 100 maybe an LTE network or some other wireless network, such as a 5G or NRnetwork. The wireless network 100 may include a number of BSs 110 (shownas BS 110 a, BS 110 b, BS 110 c, and BS 110 d) and other networkentities. ABS is an entity that communicates with user equipment (UEs)and may also be referred to as a base station, a NR BS, a Node B, a gNB,a 5G node B (NB), an access point, a transmit receive point (TRP),and/or the like. Each BS may provide communication coverage for aparticular geographic area. In 3GPP, the term “cell” can refer to acoverage area of a BS and/or a BS subsystem serving this coverage area,depending on the context in which the term is used.

A BS may provide communication coverage for a macro cell, a pico cell, afemto cell, and/or another type of cell. A macro cell may cover arelatively large geographic area (e.g., several kilometers in radius)and may allow unrestricted access by UEs with service subscription. Apico cell may cover a relatively small geographic area and may allowunrestricted access by UEs with service subscription. A femto cell maycover a relatively small geographic area (e.g., a home) and may allowrestricted access by UEs having association with the femto cell (e.g.,UEs in a closed subscriber group (CSG)). ABS for a macro cell may bereferred to as a macro BS. ABS for a pico cell may be referred to as apico BS. A BS for a femto cell may be referred to as a femto BS or ahome BS. In the example shown in FIG. 1, a BS 110 a may be a macro BSfor a macro cell 102 a, a BS 110 b may be a pico BS for a pico cell 102b, and a BS 110 c may be a femto BS for a femto cell 102 c. A BS maysupport one or multiple (e.g., three) cells. The terms “eNB”, “basestation”, “NR BS”, “gNB”, “TRP”, “AP”, “node B”, “5G NB”, and “cell” maybe used interchangeably herein.

In some aspects, a cell may not necessarily be stationary, and thegeographic area of the cell may move according to the location of amobile BS. In some aspects, the BSs may be interconnected to one anotherand/or to one or more other BSs or network nodes (not shown) in thewireless network 100 through various types of backhaul interfaces suchas a direct physical connection, a virtual network, and/or the likeusing any suitable transport network.

Wireless network 100 may also include relay stations. A relay station isan entity that can receive a transmission of data from an upstreamstation (e.g., a BS or a UE) and send a transmission of the data to adownstream station (e.g., a UE or a BS). A relay station may also be aUE that can relay transmissions for other UEs. In the example shown inFIG. 1, a relay station 110 d may communicate with macro BS 110 a and aUE 120 d in order to facilitate communication between BS 110 a and UE120 d. A relay station may also be referred to as a relay BS, a relaybase station, a relay, and/or the like.

Wireless network 100 may be a heterogeneous network that includes BSs ofdifferent types, e.g., macro BSs, pico BSs, femto BSs, relay BSs, and/orthe like. These different types of BSs may have different transmit powerlevels, different coverage areas, and different impacts on interferencein wireless network 100. For example, macro BSs may have a high transmitpower level (e.g., 5 to 40 Watts) whereas pico BSs, femto BSs, and relayBSs may have lower transmit power levels (e.g., 0.1 to 2 Watts).

A network controller 130 may couple to a set of BSs and may providecoordination and control for these BSs. Network controller 130 maycommunicate with the BSs via a backhaul. The BSs may also communicatewith one another, e.g., directly or indirectly via a wireless orwireline backhaul.

UEs 120 (e.g., 120 a, 120 b, 120 c) may be dispersed throughout wirelessnetwork 100, and each UE may be stationary or mobile. A UE may also bereferred to as an access terminal, a terminal, a mobile station, asubscriber unit, a station, and/or the like. A UE may be a cellularphone (e.g., a smart phone), a personal digital assistant (PDA), awireless modem, a wireless communication device, a handheld device, alaptop computer, a cordless phone, a wireless local loop (WLL) station,a tablet, a camera, a gaming device, a netbook, a smartbook, anultrabook, a medical device or equipment, biometric sensors/devices,wearable devices (smart watches, smart clothing, smart glasses, smartwrist bands, smart jewelry (e.g., smart ring, smart bracelet)), anentertainment device (e.g., a music or video device, or a satelliteradio), a vehicular component or sensor, smart meters/sensors,industrial manufacturing equipment, a global positioning system device,or any other suitable device that is configured to communicate via awireless or wired medium.

Some UEs may be considered machine-type communication (MTC) or evolvedor enhanced machine-type communication (eMTC) UEs. MTC and eMTC UEsinclude, for example, robots, drones, remote devices, sensors, meters,monitors, location tags, and/or the like, that may communicate with abase station, another device (e.g., remote device), or some otherentity. A wireless node may provide, for example, connectivity for or toa network (e.g., a wide area network such as Internet or a cellularnetwork) via a wired or wireless communication link. Some UEs may beconsidered Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices, and/or may be implementedas NB-IoT (narrowband internet of things) devices. Some UEs may beconsidered a Customer Premises Equipment (CPE). UE 120 may be includedinside a housing that houses components of UE 120, such as processorcomponents, memory components, and/or the like.

In general, any number of wireless networks may be deployed in a givengeographic area. Each wireless network may support a particular radioaccess technology (RAT) and may operate on one or more frequencies. ARAT may also be referred to as a radio technology, an air interface,and/or the like. A frequency may also be referred to as a carrier, afrequency channel, and/or the like. Each frequency may support a singleRAT in a given geographic area in order to avoid interference betweenwireless networks of different RATs. In some cases, NR or 5G RATnetworks may be deployed.

In some aspects, two or more UEs 120 (e.g., shown as UE 120 a and UE 120e) may communicate directly using one or more sidelink channels (e.g.,without using a base station 110 as an intermediary to communicate withone another). For example, the UEs 120 may communicate usingpeer-to-peer (P2P) communications, device-to-device (D2D)communications, a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) protocol (e.g., which mayinclude a vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) protocol, a vehicle-to-infrastructure(V2I) protocol, and/or the like), a mesh network, and/or the like. Inthis case, the UE 120 may perform scheduling operations, resourceselection operations, and/or other operations described elsewhere hereinas being performed by the base station 110.

As indicated above, FIG. 1 is provided as an example. Other examples maydiffer from what is described with regard to FIG. 1.

FIG. 2 shows a block diagram of a design 200 of base station 110 and UE120, which may be one of the base stations and one of the UEs in FIG. 1.Base station 110 may be equipped with T antennas 234 a through 234 t,and UE 120 may be equipped with R antennas 252 a through 252 r, where ingeneral T≥1 and R≥1.

At base station 110, a transmit processor 220 may receive data from adata source 212 for one or more UEs, select one or more modulation andcoding schemes (MCS) for each UE based at least in part on channelquality indicators (CQIs) received from the UE, process (e.g., encodeand modulate) the data for each UE based at least in part on the MCS(s)selected for the UE, and provide data symbols for all UEs. Transmitprocessor 220 may also process system information (e.g., for semi-staticresource partitioning information (SRPI) and/or the like) and controlinformation (e.g., CQI requests, grants, upper layer signaling, and/orthe like) and provide overhead symbols and control symbols. Transmitprocessor 220 may also generate reference symbols for reference signals(e.g., the cell-specific reference signal (CRS)) and synchronizationsignals (e.g., the primary synchronization signal (PSS) and secondarysynchronization signal (SSS)). A transmit (TX) multiple-inputmultiple-output (MIMO) processor 230 may perform spatial processing(e.g., precoding) on the data symbols, the control symbols, the overheadsymbols, and/or the reference symbols, if applicable, and may provide Toutput symbol streams to T modulators (MODs) 232 a through 232 t. Eachmodulator 232 may process a respective output symbol stream (e.g., forOFDM and/or the like) to obtain an output sample stream. Each modulator232 may further process (e.g., convert to analog, amplify, filter, andupconvert) the output sample stream to obtain a downlink signal. Tdownlink signals from modulators 232 a through 232 t may be transmittedvia T antennas 234 a through 234 t, respectively. According to variousaspects described in more detail below, the synchronization signals canbe generated with location encoding to convey additional information.

At UE 120, antennas 252 a through 252 r may receive the downlink signalsfrom base station 110 and/or other base stations and may providereceived signals to demodulators (DEMODs) 254 a through 254 r,respectively. Each demodulator 254 may condition (e.g., filter, amplify,downconvert, and digitize) a received signal to obtain input samples.Each demodulator 254 may further process the input samples (e.g., forOFDM and/or the like) to obtain received symbols. A MIMO detector 256may obtain received symbols from all R demodulators 254 a through 254 r,perform MIMO detection on the received symbols if applicable, andprovide detected symbols. A receive processor 258 may process (e.g.,demodulate and decode) the detected symbols, provide decoded data for UE120 to a data sink 260, and provide decoded control information andsystem information to a controller/processor 280. A channel processormay determine reference signal received power (RSRP), received signalstrength indicator (RSSI), reference signal received quality (RSRQ),channel quality indicator (CQI), and/or the like. In some aspects, oneor more components of UE 120 may be included in a housing.

On the uplink, at UE 120, a transmit processor 264 may receive andprocess data from a data source 262 and control information (e.g., forreports comprising RSRP, RSSI, RSRQ, CQI, and/or the like) fromcontroller/processor 280. Transmit processor 264 may also generatereference symbols for one or more reference signals. The symbols fromtransmit processor 264 may be precoded by a TX MIMO processor 266 ifapplicable, further processed by modulators 254 a through 254 r (e.g.,for DFT-s-OFDM, CP-OFDM, and/or the like), and transmitted to basestation 110. At base station 110, the uplink signals from UE 120 andother UEs may be received by antennas 234, processed by demodulators232, detected by a MIMO detector 236 if applicable, and furtherprocessed by a receive processor 238 to obtain decoded data and controlinformation sent by UE 120. Receive processor 238 may provide thedecoded data to a data sink 239 and the decoded control information tocontroller/processor 240. Base station 110 may include communicationunit 244 and communicate to network controller 130 via communicationunit 244. Network controller 130 may include communication unit 294,controller/processor 290, and memory 292.

Controller/processor 240 of base station 110, controller/processor 280of UE 120, and/or any other component(s) of FIG. 2 may perform one ormore techniques associated with clutter interference mitigation, asdescribed in more detail elsewhere herein. For example,controller/processor 240 of base station 110, controller/processor 280of UE 120, and/or any other component(s) of FIG. 2 may perform or directoperations of, for example, process 400 of FIG. 4, process 500 of FIG.5, and/or other processes as described herein. Memories 242 and 282 maystore data and program codes for base station 110 and UE 120,respectively. In some aspects, memory 242 and/or memory 282 may comprisea non-transitory computer-readable medium storing one or moreinstructions for wireless communication. For example, the one or moreinstructions, when executed by one or more processors of base station110 and/or UE 120, may perform or direct operations of, for example,process 400 of FIG. 4, process 500 of FIG. 5, and/or other processes asdescribed herein. A scheduler 246 may schedule UEs for data transmissionon the downlink and/or uplink.

In some aspects, a wireless communication device (e.g., base station 110or UE 120) may include means for determining, for full-duplex modecommunication on a first link and a second link, a timing adjustment toat least one of a first timing or a second timing, wherein the timingadjustment is to cause a delay between reception of a clutter reflectionof a first signal and reception of a second signal to be within anadjusted cyclic prefix length of the second signal, wherein the adjustedcyclic prefix length is based at least in part on a scaling factor,means for causing the timing adjustment to be applied to the at leastone of the first timing or the second timing, means for communicating inthe full-duplex mode with a first node and a second node in accordancewith the timing adjustment based at least in part on causing the timingadjustment to be applied, wherein communicating includes transmittingthe first signal to the first node and receiving the second signal fromthe second node, and/or the like. In some aspects, base station 110 mayinclude means for determining, for full-duplex mode communication with afirst node and a second node, a first multiple access (MA) signature forthe first node and a second MA signature for the second node, whereinthe first MA signature and the second MA signature are selected tosuppress residual clutter interference, means for communicating in thefull-duplex mode with the first node using the first MA signature andwith the second node using the second MA signature, and/or the like. Insome aspects, such means may include one or more components of basestation 110 described in connection with FIG. 2, such as antenna 234,DEMOD 232, MIMO detector 236, receive processor 238,controller/processor 240, transmit processor 220, TX MIMO processor 230,MOD 232, antenna 234, and/or the like. In some aspects, such means mayinclude one or more components of UE 120 described in connection withFIG. 2, such as controller/processor 280, transmit processor 264, TXMIMO processor 266, MOD 254, antenna 252, DEMOD 254, MIMO detector 256,receive processor 258, and/or the like

As indicated above, FIG. 2 is provided as an example. Other examples maydiffer from what is described with regard to FIG. 2.

In some communications systems, a wireless communication device, such asa BS or a UE, may be configured to operate in a full-duplex mode. Forexample, a wireless communication device may concurrently transmit afirst signal to a first UE and receive a second signal from a second UE.Full-duplex mode communication enables the wireless communication deviceto achieve increased throughput and spectral efficiency relative tohalf-duplex operation. However, full-duplex mode communication may alsobe associated with higher levels of self-interference (e.g., which mayresult in a reduced signal to interference and noise ratio (SINR)).Self-interference may result from reflected transmission signalsinterfering with reception, and may be termed clutter interference orclutter echo.

The wireless communication device may transmit a first signal toward afirst node (e.g., a UE on an access link or a BS on a backhaul link),but the first signal may reflect off of a surrounding object, which maycause clutter echo when the first signal is reflected back toward thewireless communication device. In this case, the clutter echo may occurconcurrently with the wireless communication device attempting toreceive a signal from a second node (e.g., another UE or another BS),which may result in an interruption to communication with the secondwireless node. Some of the clutter interference may be mitigated bybeamforming to form nulls in a direction of an object causing theclutter echo. However, remaining residual clutter interference may stillcause SINR to be less than a threshold for successful receipt ofsignaling from the second node.

Some aspects described herein may enable clutter interferencemitigation. For example, a wireless communication device may adjust atiming alignment between a first signal that the wireless communicationdevice is to transmit and a second signal that the wirelesscommunication device is to receive, such that a delay between clutterecho from the first signal is within an adjusted cyclic prefix length(e.g., within a scaling factor of the cyclic prefix length) of thesecond signal. In this way, the wireless communication device may avoidinter-symbol interference and/or inter-carrier interference. Moreover,the wireless communication device may enable orthogonal demodulationreference signal (DMRS), or minimum mean square error interferencerejection combining (MMSE-IRC), based interference mitigation based atleast in part on causing the clutter echo to occur within the adjustedcyclic prefix length of the second signal.

In some aspects, the wireless communication device may use multipleaccess (MA) signatures to mitigate residual clutter inference. Forexample, alone or in combination with adjusting a timing alignment, thewireless communication device may cause the first signal and the secondsignal to have different MA signatures (e.g., different DMRSconfigurations), thereby enabling separable channel estimation for thefirst signal and the second signal. In this case, the wirelesscommunication device reduces clutter interference, thereby improvingSINR and reducing a likelihood of dropped communications.

FIGS. 3A-3D are diagrams illustrating an example 300 of clutterinterference mitigation, in accordance with various aspects of thepresent disclosure. As shown in FIG. 3A, example 300 includes a wirelesscommunication device 301 in communication with a set of nodes 302 (e.g.,a first UE 120-1 and a second UE 120-2, a first BS 110-1 and a second BS110-2, a combination thereof, and/or the like) in a full-duplex mode. Insome aspects, a reflecting object 305 may be disposed at least partiallyin a transmission path of wireless communication device 301. Forexample, reflecting object 305 may be another node, a geographicalfeature, a building, and/or the like.

As further shown in FIG. 3A, wireless communication device 301 mayinclude a transmitter (TX) associated with transmitting a firstcommunication 315-1 using a plurality of TX beams 310-1 and a receiver(RX) associated with receiving a communication 315-2 using a pluralityof RX beams 310-2. In this case, wireless communication device 301 mayoperate in a full-duplex mode, where wireless communication device 301transmits TX beams 310-1 within a threshold proximity of (e.g.,concurrently with) receiving RX beams 310-2. In some aspects, based atleast in part on using a plurality of TX beams 310-1 for communication315-1 (e.g., using beam sweeping), a beam 310-1 a may be directed towardfirst node 302-1 and a beam 310-1 b may reflect off reflecting object305, resulting in interfering transmission 320. In this case,interfering transmission 320 may be a clutter echo caused by reflectingobject 305.

FIG. 3B shows an example of a timing alignment of the beams 310. Forexample, second node 302-2 may transmit communication 315-2 at a firsttime t₁. A delay 325 associated with communication 315-2 propagatingtoward wireless communication device 301 may result in wirelesscommunication device 301 receiving communication 315-2 at a second timet₂. Similarly, wireless communication device 301 may transmitcommunication 315-1 toward first node 302-1 at the second time t₂. Inthis case, a delay 330 associated with beam 310-1 b propagating towardreflecting object 305 and reflecting back, as interfering transmission320, toward wireless communication device 301 may result in wirelesscommunication device 301 receiving interfering transmission 320 at athird time t₃. In this case, wireless communication device 301 may startreceiving interfering transmission 320 during a payload portion ofcommunication 315-2, which may result in clutter interference and anSINR of less than a threshold for successful communication.

As shown in FIG. 3C, and by reference number 335, based at least in parton detecting clutter interference from receiving interferingtransmission 320, wireless communication device 301 may determine atiming adjustment. For example, wireless communication device 301 maydetermine to adjust a timing of at least one of communication 315-1 orcommunication 315-2 to cause the delay between transmittingcommunication 315-1 and receiving interfering transmission 320 to occurwithin an adjusted cyclic prefix (CP) length of communication 315-2. Insome aspects, the adjusted cyclic prefix length may be based at least inpart on the cyclic prefix length multiplied by a scaling factor. In someaspects, the scaling factor is less than or equal to 1. Additionally, oralternatively, the scaling factor may be based at least in part on amodulation and coding scheme of, for example, communication 315-2. Inthis way, wireless communication device 301 avoids inter-symbolinterference and/or inter-carrier interference and allows for orthogonalDMRS-based interference suppression or MMSE-IRC-based interferencesuppression.

In some aspects, wireless communication device 301 may determine toadjust the timing based at least in part on a particular type of channelmeasurement. For example, wireless communication device 301 may receivean indication of a measurement of a reference signal or synchronizationsignal block transmitted to first node 302-1. Additionally, oralternatively, wireless communication device 301 may perform a clutterinterference measurement of the reference signal or synchronizationsignal block transmission at a time when second node 302-2 is nottransmitting, to identify the clutter interference caused by interferingobject 305. In some aspects, wireless communication device 301 maydetermine the timing adjustment based at least in part on a measurementof a reference signal or synchronization signal block transmissionreceived from second node 302-2, to determine a level of SINR to achieveto successfully receive the reference signal or synchronization signalblock.

In some aspects, wireless communication device 301 may determine toadjust the timing based at least in part on a capability of nodes 302.For example, wireless communication device 301 may determine whethernodes 302 are capable of full-duplex multiplexing (e.g., based at leastin part on an SINR measurement, a clutter interference leakage, and/orthe like), and may determine to adjust the timing based at least in parton determining that nodes 302 are capable of full-duplex mode operation.

In some aspects, wireless communication device 301 may determine atiming adjustment (TA) command and provide the TA command, as shown byreference number 340, to at least one of first node 302-1 or second node302-2 to adjust a timing of at least one of communication 315-1 orcommunication 315-2. For example, when wireless communication device 301is a gNB-type of BS connected to first node 302-1 on a downlink andsecond node 302-2 on an uplink, wireless communication device 301 mayprovide a TA command to second node 302-2 to cause a change to a timingof communication 315-2. In another example, when wireless communicationdevice 301 is an IAB-node-type of BS receiving from a parent node (e.g.,second node 302-2) and transmitting to a child node (e.g., first node302-1), wireless communication device 301 may self-adjust a transmittime of communication 315-1. In this case, wireless communication device301 may indicate to first node 302-1 that the transmit time ofcommunication 315-1 is adjusted. In some aspects, wireless communicationdevice 301 may adjust a transmit time of both communication 315-1 andcommunication 315-2.

In some aspects, wireless communication device 301 may reportinformation relating to the timing adjustment to enable another deviceto determine whether to continue with full-duplex mode operation and/orto determine the timing adjustment. For example, wireless communicationdevice 301 may report time delays 325 and/or 330 to a parent node (e.g.,second node 302-2), and the parent node may provide an indication of thetiming adjustment or an indication to cease using full-duplex modeoperation. Additionally, or alternatively, wireless communication device301 may report a clutter interference measurement to the parent node,and the parent node may provide the indication of the timing adjustment,or the indication to cease, using the full-duplex mode operation.

In some aspects, wireless communication device 301 may adjust anothercharacteristic of communications 315-1 and/or 315-2 to mitigate clutterinterference. For example, wireless communication device 301 may usedifferent MA signatures for communications 315-1 and 315-2 to enableseparable channel estimation. In this case, wireless communicationdevice 301 may use a first DMRS for communication 315-1 and (may causesecond node 302-2 to use) a second DMRS for communication 315-2. Forexample, the first DMRS and the second DMRS may be configured with thesame time and frequency resources and base sequence, but differentcyclic shifts. Alternatively, the first DMRS and the second DMRS may beconfigured with the same time and frequency resources, but differentbase sequences. Alternatively, the first DMRS and the second DMRS may beconfigured with different time and frequency resources. In this case,time and frequency resources of the first DMRS may be avoided for thesecond DMRS and time and frequency resources of the second DMRS may beavoided for the first DMRS, thereby enabling separable channelestimation.

In some aspects, wireless communication device 301 may use resourcespread multiple access (RSMA) signatures for the communications 315 toenable mitigation of clutter interference. For example, wirelesscommunication device 301 may configure an RSMA repetition factor tocause a particular MA signature length based at least in part on aclutter interference level measurement, a threshold SINR that is to beachieved, a threshold throughput that is to be achieved, and/or thelike. In this case, wireless communication device 301 may determine anMA signature length, and may provide information identifying the MAsignature length to nodes 302-1 and/or 302-2. Additionally, oralternatively, wireless communication device 301 may request that nodes302-1 and/or 302-2 use the MA signature length and may receiveconfirmation indicating that nodes 302-1 and/or 302-2 are to use the MAsignature length. Alternatively, wireless communication device 301 mayprovide a clutter interference measurement report to node 302-1 or 302-2and may receive a response identifying an MA signature length from node302-1 or 302-2 (e.g., when node 302-1 or 302-2 is a parent node ofwireless communication device 301).

FIG. 3D shows an example of a timing alignment of the beams 310 afterapplying a timing adjustment (and, in some aspects, using MAsignatures). In this case, second node 302-2 may transmit communication315-2 at the first time t₁. Based at least in part on adjusting a timingof transmission of TX beams 310-1 by a shift 345, wireless communicationdevice 301 transmits TX beams 310-1 at a time t_(A), that is between thefirst time t₁ and the second time t₂ (e.g., t_(A) is during delay 325).As a result, as shown, delay 330 (e.g., from transmission ofcommunication 315-1 at time t_(A) to an occurrence interferingtransmission at time t_(B)) occurs during the adjusted cyclic prefixlength portion of receiving communication 315-2. As a result, wirelesscommunication device 301 may avoid inter-symbol interference and/orinter-carrier interference, and enables DMRS-based interferencesuppression and/or MMSE-IRC-based interference suppression.

As indicated above, FIGS. 3A-3D are provided as an example. Otherexamples may differ from what is described with respect to FIGS. 3A-3D.
